Remember when I posted this picture back in December 2010 of the family's long-suffering dog, Ally? Well, it's beginning to be warm around here (already had a temp above 90 earlier this month) and this dog's coat is extremely thick. Since she's so skittish around vets, I thought it might be a good idea to buy some electric clippers and shear her myself.
Well...
There's a fine art of running such through such a thick coat, as I learned to my chagrin...
The blade got caught when I was cutting her neck fur and it jumped and got stuck and...
You can see the results for yourself:
Yes, I'm SO good that I gave my nearly 14-year old mix a bald spot. Well, she's nearly 100 in dog years, so maybe she won't mind it so much. She didn't even blink when it happened, oddly enough. Well, I guess this is better than taping bacon to a cat, I suppose...

Taping bacon to a cat creates something cute and delicious... or hilarious if you have a wicked mind, a dog, and a lot of free time.
Perhaps she didn't blink because she is used to this sort of thing?
Evfen with the bald spot she's a very pretty girl.
Yes, and for most of her life, a very temperamental one. I think it's just senility that's mellowed her personality and enables her to deal with humans better ;)
